Dancing

I dance a little closer to you and watch you dance away Hard selling what we both know tomorrow you may Not be able to give away And as I leave the stage Dancing through my rage I feel helpless as the music goes on, and we turn to another page Dancing everybody's dancing Moving through the ballet Never missing a cue How sad, but how beautiful it can be To watch the choreography As we play out our fantasy Red hair flashing under amber-colored lights You pirouette too smoothly as you move around your ladies And your fear of lonely nights As you leap across the air You're so perfectly aware Of your audience in rapt attention As you hang suspended there You do have a tender side I can feel it, though you've always tried to hide It from me 'Cause you know that I'm one woman who's strong enough to see you As you've always been afraid to be Dancing everybody's dancing --- Dancing - Carole King
